Why Liberal Feminists Support School Shootings

Who will win on November 4th?


This week the mouthpiece of the modern feminist movement - Ms. Magazine - demonstrated for the world why the heartbeat of modern feminists is as corrupt, jaded, and evil as that of Charles Carl Roberts - the person who wished to sexually assault and kill ten Amish school girls in Pennsylvania.

And before you begin to hyperventilate, turn purple face, and spray spittle across the room, let me assure you - it's a more than fair comparison.

This coming Tuesday, Ms. Magazine will release its new issue with the cover story, "We Had Abortions (and we're glad we did)." The purpose of the piece according to the editors is to refocus the spotlight of the abortion issue "back on the lives of women." I don't wish to speak on their behalf, but I believe they merely mean all grown women.

The story is intended to gloss over the millions of women who have had negative reactions to the abortion experience in their own life and choose to instead highlight a petition in which 1000+ very misguided women signed a statement affirming their belief that their lives were infinitely improved because they snuffed the life out of the most vulnerable person they personally had ever known - their unborn daughter (or son, or both).

The belief embodied in the magazine's efforts shows to everyone the madness involved in our ever increasingly "morally relevant" culture. It also demonstrates how our society is neither moral nor relevant most of the time. Could there be a worse week to make such an announcement?

To add insult to injury the Ms. Magazine website boasts more than 5000 signatures to the petition. So there you have it 6000 women saying abortion is great vs. millions who dare to disagree. And as a demonstration of total fairness the organization 'Silent No More' which includes the magnificent work of Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) was shunned completely by the editors of Ms. when they asked if they could contribute data on women who reject abortion after experiencing one.

So back to my premise, the modern feminists - as bad as Amish school shooters...

Yes! Absolutely!

But the more interesting question is, "where's the outrage?" And a worthy question it is.

This past Monday a relatively calm man, struggled with demons that weighed in on his soul - in other words, "no one could tell him how to deal with his problems, because they hadn't been in his shoes." He had certainly done things in his past that he was not proud of. He felt there was literally no where to turn. And for all of his wife's prayer groups - he still did not see how he was going to be able to go on with life if he didn't make a choice that relieved him of his mental torture. After all it was his life, and no one should be allowed to dictate to him how he should deal with his painful choices - even if he made them years ago. Continued...

Subject: it still comes down to one thing...
I've said it a hundred times- the issue is Personal Responsibility. If our government didn't subsidize poor choices, then people would make better decisions for themselves.

As far as the article- the argument is valid. A man was bothered by something happening in his own body and the solution was to extinguish life. Same holds true for women who abort.

Someone mentioned that this is comparing one person to a social movement and, therefore, faulty. But isn't the entire basis of the left's argument that abortion is an individual's choice?

The irony that the left is pro-abortion and anti-death penalty is amusing. It's one of the reasons I gladly escaped the femi-Nazis a long time ago. "Kill the innocents. Spare the guilty. And no human being has the right to self-defense. It's okay for our elected officials to rape and murder as long as they support my right to do the same." Murder is okay if it is done in a sterilized room with bright lights (or the inside of a water-logged, sinking car).

P.S. My guns and I talked about this article. They agree with me. I'd still rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy.

My dog is as dear to me as anything you can imagine. Rather than suffer the least harm to come to her, I'd see you and your entire tribe, root and branch, ground into dust and washed into oblivion."

Hey, where's that much-vaunted liberal love and tolerance?! It's a myth, that's where it is. You're a hate-filled, self-loving person who is lost and knows it. You know, don't you, that your dog will live on average, 13 years, and then you're alone again...and again...and again...until you die the same way. Then you'll see whether you're right about the "superstition" of faith in Christ...or not.
